Review by Katie – Jan, 2023
This is the second time I have turned to Oxford Retirement Livery for help with my mare. First time was after a traumatic experience that left her needing time to decompress and the second time was due to medical reasons and a back problem. Both times she has settled immediately and appears totally relaxed. I no longer have sleepless nights worrying about her. A bit of horsey paradise.

I can’t recommend this place enough . My horse is in her 32 nd year and moving her after she had been 22 years at the same yard 18 months ago was a worry. Jenny did all she could to make her transition smooth . She genuinely cares about the horses but also the owners . I can not thank her enough . A happy horse is a happy owner . Thank you thank you thank you x

My horse has been at this yard for over 2 years and from the moment he arrived there I stopped worrying about him. The well-being of the horses in her care is first and foremost in everything Jenny does. You couldn’t put your horse in better hands.

Review by Val – Dec, 2022
This yard is amazing. The horses are just living there best life in natural surroundings. The horses are given the best care with all there needs catered for. The winter arrangements in the barns are so unique and my mare was quite challenging but she is one happy horse. Love this place
